Max the Feral Demands Affection 3 Months After Being Captured

I trapped him 3 months ago while looking for a different cat because he was meowing in the wild after eating at the feeding station. I thought that his meowing might be a sign of being a lost house cat. When I got him home, he was deathly afraid and showed all the signs of being a feral. Today was the first time I was allowed to touch him after a little more than 3 months.
